Probable best batsman of the match

Will Young- New Zealand

Will Young applied himself on a difficult track and scored a fighting 46 off 48 deliveries in the 4th rubber. In fact, Young scored almost half the total of the New Zealand side (the Kiwis were bowled out for 93) in the 4th T20I. Young has scored 93 runs in this series. The right-hander will look to continue with his good run of form in the final rubber as well.

Probable best bowler of the match

Mustafizur Rahman – Bangladesh

Mustafizur Rahman was literally unplayable in the 4th T20I. The left-arm seamer bamboozled the Kiwi willow wielders, picking up 4 wickets in the 3.3 overs that he bowled, and gave away just 12 runs. Rahman has taken 8 wickets in this series so far.
